Before I start, I want to thank the Papa Joe radio show (KLAV, 1230 out of Las Vegas) for having me on today to discuss the “honorable” Senator from the great state of Comcast, Arlen Specter.
It was fun, my first time on a radio show as a guest. Nerve racking, but fun.
They should have a link to the show on their site tomorrow. If you get a chance to listen, let me know how I did.
8:39 PM: Rip Hamilton is playing, which is big for Detroit. We’ll see how he does.
Hey, the Pistons won the tip for the first time this series. They must be serious.
8:42 PM: Ray Allen missed a three, but at least he shot the ball.
First foul of the game…on Rondo.
Billups missed…that’s odd.
By the way, I’m halfway through my first Sam Adams Boston Ale, and Ray Allen just drained a three!! Good signs everywhere early!
8:44 PM: By the way, I still haven’t accepted Ray Allen back into the Big Three, nor have I fixed my keyboard yet.
Two minutes and twenty four seconds of basketball, four called fouls. Here we go.
8:46 PM: If Rondo ever learned to finish, he’d be a pretty good offensive player.
He can get to the rim as well as anyone, but he just can’t finish.
Both teams missing shots early, by the way.
Somewhere, the Lakers are smiling.
8:49 PM: I’m a huge Paul Pierce fan. I’m rooting for him to play well in this game, and should they advance, in the NBA Finals in the hopes that Boston fans will finally realize what they have in him.
He’s an underrated defender, a scorer, and a guy who’s not afraid to take big shots.
Put it this way, if Kevin Garnett had Paul Pierce’s mentality, he’d be the best player in NBA history. Pierce doesn’t have Kobe’s talent or Garnett’s physical tools, but he’s a gamer who isn’t afraid of anything.
Point is, Paul Pierce deserves some props.
8:54 PM: The Pistons can’t seem to hit a shot right now, which is entirely fantastic.
And Wallace is already angry at the officials, which is also fantastic.
8:57 PM: In an elimination game, how are the Piston being beaten to rebounds?
Don’t sense the urgency I expected out of the Pistons thus far, which would annoy me to great lengths if I were a Pistons fan.
When they turned it on in the fourth quarter Wednesday, they were great. But it was too late.
Here’s to hoping they wait too long tonight as well.
9:05 PM: I’m shocked. The officials got one right.
Shot clock violation to basically end the first quarter. Why baseball doesn’t have replay for homeruns is beyond me…
I agree with Bill Simmons by the way, Doc Rivers is the Grady Little of the Boston Celtics.
Which scares the crap out of me.

Yes! Another Crowe running blog. Can't wait to hear you on the radio, I'm sure you did just fine. (Just hope your voice wasn't too dead from yelling at those distinguished referees.
Go Lakers!

The link's up on their site now. I come in at about the 1 hour, 35 minute mark.
The host threw me off a bit with a few of the questions, but I think I did OK.
...and Go Lakers? That's blasphemy! :)

I don't know how I did it either. Everyday I look at those stats and wonder where it went—you used to be so ahead on me and then I got this 'Community Leader' thing. And Hockey expert? Sheesh I'm honored. Wish they'd pay me like it.
It's good to see the Celtics in the Finals—now I know the Raptors didn't suck in vain this year.
Hopefully the Big Show comes out during the Lakers pre-game as the new center and double choke-slams pierce and garnett, and turns around and kicks Kobe in the face, single-handedly becoming NBA champion. That's possible right?
And irrational hatred is always best—hatred with a reason is overrated anyhow.

I'm an NFL community leader, yet I'm still not keeping up. I should be ashamed.
However, I'm way more long winded...especially in NFL columns...so I think I still have you beat in total words. :)
Good idea on the Big Show thing...but I'm only for it if it looks like the Celtics are going to lose. Part of me hopes Vince sells the NBA before the finals start and we get real refs...but I'm not counting on it.
Imagine my reaction when Kobe takes his 53rd free throw of game seven?

Good point... my heart might not make it to game seven.
Frankly, I'm surprised it made it this far.
